WASHINGTON (WNS)-The Federal Ayiation Ad- miiiistration has alerted Israeli and American airline officials that Palestinian terrorists disguised as priests or dressed as women may try in the next few weeks to hijack or bomb a plane somewhere in Europe. The alert ^stressed, however, that despite the reliable source for the information, in was imcoruTrmed. Ihe FAA report said the plot was, apparently aimed at an Israeli or American airliner in reprisal for Israel's downing of a Libyan commercial airliner Feb. 21, and stated the Palestinians "may believe that recent contact between Israeli Premier Golda Meir and President Nixon indicate that the U.S. "supports" the plane's downing.

Israelis In Columbus Working Together
by BILL COHEN Chronicle Special Reporter.
Although many in the Jewish community are unaware of it, there are about 70 Israelis currently living in Columbus, and they have banded together in tbe Israeli Student Organization, according to Ami Zelcer, the president of LS.O.
Zelcer says tbe group includes about 25 students, several Ohio State University faculty mem¬ bers, and a few Israeli families, and he says the: group was formed "to help new Israelis in Columbus with school, housing and jobs."
Also, says Zelcer, "We are trying to bring Israel to the Americans."
As a 24-year-old Junior studying mechanical engineering at O.S.U., Zelcer is a fairly typical Israeli student; older and more mature than his American counterpart because be has already spent three years in the Israeli Army.
Hairing already attended six years of combined secondary and vocational school, he has been awarded two years of collegei credit like many other Israeli students here.
'".. "Mostofusplantogoback to Israel when we graduate,'-says Zelcer. "We feel that Israel is our country, and it needs people with skills to help it
develop."
Zelcer says one of the biggest problems faced by Israelis in Columbus when they first arrive: is the language. "You have tostart writing English, speaking English, and thinking English," explains Zelcer, adding that although all Israeli students must take English from the seventh gradeon, it is still difficult to .master until they have been in the U.S. for a few months.
''The way of studying here is also quite different. Everything is in a hurry. You have to learn more here in one quarter than what you team in one year in Israel," be says.
Zelcer says be' and other Israelis in Columbus realize that people often see them first as Israelis and only later as students or in¬ dividuals, and he sees the cultural exchange as very important.
"The Jewish community and tbe Israelis should have a two-way relationship," he says, "m the past, we have had few contacts, but we are trying to reach out." \
Zelcer says Columbus Israelis will be involved in planning many, of the ac¬ tivities, celebrating Israel's 25m birthday during the first week of May. He adds that many Israelis are interested in speaking to any temple, class, or club in the Jewish community about Israel. He says the group can also help those who are trying to learn Hebrew.
Zelcer says he hopes more interaction between Israelis, and the Columbus Jewish community will break down misconceptions on both sides.'. ■
"Before I came to the" U.S. in August, I thought that Americans are very, un¬ friendly, cold people, who are eager for money, but I have found that is very untrue," says Zelcer.
On the other side, he says, "Many .Americans expect too much from Israel. They expect Israel never to make mistakes and to be the most just country, with no crime

He con¬ tinued* his studies VirfXthe world'famous yeshivSs'rJdf Lublin and Belz in Poland, where he achieved advanced knowledge of the Holy Writ. This thirst for learning continues to this day. He is a student of the "book" and fulfills the 'rabbinic dicta* to study and to teach. Waldman willingly shares a novel interpretation and a good word with his many friends.
